Pretty hot/acidic, not so smooth. Spicy. Something interesting going on but not super palatable. Would definitely benefit from aeration. Not my favorite.

Very full bodied wine, Similar to a port but lighter. Great with dessert or as a after dinner drink.

Very good medium bodied red. Tangy, mouth watering. Goes well with spicy chicken or pasta & tomato sauce.
